Highlights

The music scene in Greenwich Village launched the careers of some of the world's most well known artists! On this tour you'll visit the site and hear stories about how they became famous, the people who nurtured their talent and signed them to recording contracts. It wasn't by accident that both Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen became famous. It was because of one man, John Hammond who signed them both to Columbia Records along with many others. This tour helps you understand the times and the people who supported them as well as many other artists.


NOTE: if the temperature in New York City is projected to be above 90 degrees, the tour will be cancelled due to fear for my and your health.
